Updated my My Life In A Nutshell web comic

For those not familiar with this webcomic: My Life In A Nutshell is a semi-autobiographic comic I started in 1999. You can see the archives here.

Yes, I'm going to appear on the jacket cover of a children's book NAKED!

For the story behind these illustration portraits on the jacket cover of my upcoming picture book from Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers, see my blog post.

My NAKED! f&gs just arrived!!!!

A package just arrived today and YAY, it's the f&gs for NAKED!

For those not familiar with f&gs, the term stands for "folded and gathered," and are the proofs that the printer is sending to the publisher. The book has partially been assembled but without any binding. You can find out more about f&gs in this Editorial Anonymous post.

I haven't yet received permission to post the cover for NAKED!, so I'm posting the very cool note that my editor included with the package instead.

NAKED! is currently scheduled to come out from Simon & Schuster Books For Young Readers in late April 2014. Author: Michael Ian Black. Illustrator: ME!
